Project Options

With an experienced and highly qualified technical team, we can undertake projects on your behalf while maintaining close contact with your in-house operations regarding progress and technical issues. Our flexible project options enable you to control your budgets and avoid the risk of overspend while assured of a timely, reliable and quality solution.

Flexibility

Flexibility is key to our services. We run projects as short a half a day for a straightforward verification exercise to multi-year contracts to support and optimise new product development. Most standard project work is undertaken within our head office in the UK for efficiency but this can be combined with on-site Secondments and Technology Transfer services.

Communication

Close communication ensures we deliver to your requirements.

You are allocated an account manager who works alongside our consulting staff to ensure both your commercial and technical objectives are met.

The scope of any project is clearly agreed and defined upfront and we ensure that you are kept informed of progress. This includes any discoveries, issues or concerns that arise from intermediate results that may influence the direction and duration of the project.

Project meetings are important and encouraged, particularly for complex assignments or design optimisation services. These can take place either at our headquarters or your offices. In addition, to minimise your project costs and delivery times while adhering to our Environmental Management policy, we promote web conferencing as much as possible.

Reporting

Clear and meaningful presentation of results is an essential way for us to add value. Various levels of reporting are available to suit your requirements:

Extensive – often required for regulatory authorities

Standard – Full report, but without the detail of the Extensive report

Summary – Limited to basic facts and important conclusions, often presented in a slide format

If you would like to continue the project in-house, we can also deliver the results databases from any analysis tools used to enable you to recreate the analysis and further investigate the results. This can include the provision of appropriate software licenses.

Pricing

After agreeing a scope of work and timescales, we can structure the pricing of your project in many ways:

Fixed Price, against fixed quotation.

Reimbursable.

Reimbursable, against target price.

Call-off contracts

Assessment Services

Through the Wilde Group, we retain senior engineering staff with extensive experience in mechanical and civil structures, including design, analysis and failure investigation studies. Independent third-party assessments are typically undertaken in the following areas:

Assessment of designs to confirm Fitness for Purpose

Peer review & independent assessment of Safety Case Documentation, including the critical examination of third party studies and reports

Client support in technical Litigation and Arbitration Cases, including Expert Witness representation

Program Development

We have in-house scripting skills to help customise software and automate processes, ranging from the creation of macros and engineering calculation worksheets to the development of translators, material models and software wizards.We have undertaken such projects for both clients and software developers.

Example Projects

Our Case Study Library illustrates a range of non-confidential projects that we have undertaken. Our Capabilities and Project Services are applicable to all engineering sectors and consequently we not daunted by the specific product or process that needs attention. Since 1980, we have been involved in a diverse range of projects such as:

Client Feedback

Wilde Analysis Ltd provided a prompt and effective solution to an analytical challenge we had to resolve quickly. Following their valuable input, we were able to move forward successfully with our project.

CommScope Technologies UK

We found that the staff at Wilde Analysis listen and are very adaptable, responding effectively and promptly to modifications that can occur during a project. We feel that we work together as one team rather than a separate company.

Europa Valve Ltd

This was a unique project for the client and for us. We required Wilde’s help and are very happy with the outcome. Wilde’s engineers also provided us with knowledgeable advice and recommendations to improve our design work; there have been no issues with the fabrication and installation and we have found Wilde’s engineers very helpful throughout our design development and the client’s approval process.

BCS Design

We are very satisfied with the CFD consultancy project that Wilde completed for us, and found our contact with them very rewarding. The project deadline was extremely tight so we especially appreciated Wilde’s quick response, and the fact they completed the work to a very high standard even sooner than requested. Having an independent third party such as Wilde to validate our data provided important reassurance for our client.

Dunlop Oil & Marine

MAHLE Industrial Filtration UK Ltd have worked with Wilde on a number of previous occasions where independent specialist knowledge, supported by the use of up-to-date computational techniques, were sought to support designs using conventional design processes.

MAHLE Industrial Filtration UK

... While the wind report was needed for planning, it was also very important to us to ensure that the design factored in the wind analysis to promote people’s comfort and safety within this development. This is an important factor which is too often slightly overlooked at early stages of planning and design.

Barberry

On completion of the design, Wilde, being a preferred partner of Parkburn, was enlisted to carry out independent verification. After specifying the design requirements and objectives of the analysis, Parkburn can rely on Wilde to provide reliable results in a presentable format ready for review by design approval agencies.

Parkburn Precision Handling Systems

IAC and Wilde Analysis have been working together for several years now, and we at IAC know that our CFD and FEA work is in safe hands. The intuitive way the work is completed means IAC engineers can be confident of high-quality results delivered by Wilde on schedule.

IAC Acoustics

This has been a very productive and informative piece of work from my point of view. It has shed some very encouraging light on the expected behaviour of the larger scale devices and I am very optimistic about the future of the concept. Thank you for managing to combine competence with charm, it’s been a pleasure. I do indeed hope to work with Wilde again in the future.

Oleotec

….thank you again for all your hard work with our project. We are very satisfied with the work produced and I am pleased that we have furthered our understanding of our product. I believe this is an important step in advancing our technical information and I look forward to working with you again in the future.

Gantry Rail

We relied on Wilde’s expertise to clearly define the objectives and scope of work for this RAMS GAP Analysis project and they did a very good job to help us.

Zonegreen

The work completed by Wilde has been invaluable in enabling us to design and build an optimised solution for clearing ice and snow with gusto. The computer modelling and subsequent report was very thorough offering options for alternative design.

Network Rail

The consultancy project enabled us to spot errors that would have cost much more than the sum of the analysis itself. It enabled us to see things before we committed to them which is very beneficial, especially in terms of the high financial investment involved in the design of the larger components. It made sense to us to analyse these high value components, as the cost of modifying the tooling is so high.

Dudley Industries

I would just like to thank everyone at Wilde for the high quality FEA work on some new products we are bringing to market. Without doubt, the analysis helped us design a product that will outperform our original design. The engineers involved were most helpful, not only in delivering the work but also explaining the results and working with us on design improvements. I will certainly be using the service on future products we bring to market.

Flambeau

For us, the advantage of using Wilde’s consultancy services is that we can give our client confidence in the results that we present to them.

Precision Moulds & Tools Services

We were very impressed with how well the process went. Compared to our previous experience of product development / FEA with a prior company, we felt that the process with Wilde was much faster, with results expertly presented and proven to be accurate.

Mergon International

The project fully met our defined objectives and gave us exactly what we wanted. I was particularly impressed with the Wilde engineer’s knowledge of materials – not many mechanical engineers would know so much about stress properties but he was very clued up on this. In terms of value for money, I would give Wilde ten out of ten

Pipeline Engineering & Supply Co.

This project was a new venture for us, and ensuring the safety of the operators using this equipment was our key concern. The combination of clear, precise guidance and specialist technical expertise ....... enabled us to accomplish everything that we required.

It was very useful to us to get a feeling for how the seal behaves from before fixing to fixed. We would certainly include this phase for future jobs where we plan to use straight tooling for manufacture.

Crux Products

Wilde have given a first-rate service enabling us to prove and improve critical design features.

Moffat 2000

We’d like to thank you for your help with this project. Getting such concise and helpful information back will ultimately help in our quest to buy the ANSYS software.

Victor Lighting

Wilde provided efficient communication with a cost effective approach within the timescale required to keep the project on target. The final report was delivered to both our client and Lloyds Register for third party approval. The team at Wilde gave excellent back up after the report had been delivered, answering any queries relating to the analysis that was raised by the third party body.

Contitech Oil & Gas

Wilde quickly understood the analysis that needed to be done on the Forward Tooling Assembly and used their FEA and CFD expertise to develop a new design to optimise the efficiency of the new vehicle within the required time scales.

Forum Energy Technologies

The job was delivered on time with a very proactive approach from their engineers. Subsequent tests on the machine have proven the model to be accurate and allowed the design to develop.

Edwards Vacuum

Wilde Analysis Ltd are a very professional and competent organisation and employees.

JCB Landpower

Everything about Wilde exuded first class quality from the moment [they] came to visit us to listen to our requirements. Then using Wilde’s extensive experience to provide Darchem with advice on the most cost and time effective options available for the analysis, whilst retaining accurate and robust results. The end report, results and the time scale in which this was achieved, further confirmed Wilde’s quality of service.

Esterline (Darchem Engineering)

Wilde Analysis have been a pleasure to work with during this project, responsive to requests, delivering on time and at reasonable cost and providing good guidance as to optimal ways forward.

Moltex Energy LLP

Many thanks for your contribution. By your diligence you have enabled us to proceed with confidence.

Reviss UK

We have now installed the kiln jet and operated at nearly double the throughput. I’d just like to say thanks for the invaluable work that you carried out in helping us to hone the design to the final version that was installed and worked impeccably from day 1. It saved us a lot of trial and error on the production line with associated losses that would have been incurred.

Springfields Fuels

... a key project that we had originally planned to do in-house, but our internal resources were pushed to the limit... passed it on to Wilde to complete at very short notice. They responded immediately & completed everything very quickly... They pulled it out of the bag very impressively & were the perfect solution to our difficulty. Added to that, Wilde provided excellent value for money compared to other companies that we have considered in the past.

Chesterfield Special Cylinders

Wilde’s ANSYS consultancy services had been recommended to us by another company. This was therefore the first time that we had used them and we were very satisfied with their work for us. They enabled us to meet our main objective, which was to provide independent clarification on our own calculations. Everything was done to the agreed timescale, and we were very happy with the level of communication.

Dodd Engineering

Wilde’s consultancy work has answered many of our questions and cut down significantly on our testing time – fewer iterations mean less costs to us which has to be beneficial.

RMI Pressure Systems

I was very impressed with the knowledge and tools available to us through Wilde and the accuracy of their first model predictions compared to my test results. This has already become a seminal piece of work that will underpin a significant future product development.

Edbro

It was a case of us needing to get the job done quickly. Like many other companies, we don’t always have the skills and labour resources available to us in house, as our work flow varies.... If you have a good supplier, they become an extension of your business, in whom you can have confidence and rely upon when needed. This is where Wilde proves so useful to us; their engineers are really helpful, highly knowledgeable and very competent.

Baker Perkins

Wilde has always demonstrated a knowledgeable and professional understanding to our needs and have been able to quickly and thoroughly assimilate our requirements, and equally quickly produce the necessary results to support our design process and provide guidance on the solution(s) best suiting our needs commercially and technically.

MAHLE Industrial Filtration UK

Wilde quickly understood the scope of the analysis & defined precisely the engineering information that would be required....... The product design was modified on the basis of the analysis. Samples subsequently passed rigorous environmental testing including vibration & drop testing before the design was released for high volume production.…pleased with the time Wilde take to understand our requirements …used them on a number of projects.

Plextek

Working with Wilde Analysis is a pleasure. They have the requisite skill, expertise and experience to contribute to the development of the solution. They are able to contribute at the research and development level and at the engineering design level, which is an important capability. As a business we have found them to be professional in their presentation and approach at all times.

Waters UK

... Willerby has worked closely with Wilde Analysis on new product development. The work has included in depth FEA and part optimisation studies relating to new product developments.... The work has resulted in excellent opportunities to reduce component part count and material content. Due to the success of this partnership, it is highly likely that further studies will be conducted between the two organisations going forward.

Willerby Holiday Homes

The work provided enabled us to present high-quality information to the client, which is excellent, given that the building is going to be an iconic one.

Millwood House Consultants

We are very happy with the service that Wilde provided. Their consultancy work for us offered us peace of mind that investment on our part in tooling is worthwhile and meets the functional brief.

Edincare Pumped Drainage Systems

... without the training & modelling techniques developed by Wilde, it would have been extremely difficult to predict the behaviour of the IR pre-heat oven. ... professional and exceeded the requirements set in the original brief, with extensive communication via meetings, e-mails and telephone conversations.

Glasscoat International

Thank you for the very speedy delivery on our project. In general I find Wilde very responsive to our needs and this is very much appreciated!

atg UV Technology

[Wilde engineer] attended site to get an appreciation of SSE’s business at Smurfit...... was professional in getting the information at the site and has spent time on the computer system to follow up on this. [He] is giving me peace of mind in the fact that if anything goes wrong we will have the information to hand to back up all our safety systems in one location – the safety file.

SSE

Wilde was instrumental in the modifying of our existing design to ensure that performance met the specific & stringent customer requirements on this particular project. Without the modelling capabilities & advice/service provided by Wilde we would not have been able to identify the limitations in our current design in house, nor have been able to implement the required design changes that the CFD process identified as being required.

Northvale Korting

We always appreciate Wilde’s approach as working with them is very beneficial for us, both in terms of project costs & knowledge transfer. They are very open about the results, barriers & difficulties involved, & do their utmost to make sure the models are validated, which not many other companies would do. Wilde go to great lengths to produce the accurate results we need, that’s why we have developed a successful working relationship.

Eminox

The particular assembly that was evaluated is fitted into what we would consider to be a severe application. The study based on the FE analysis results demonstrated that there were no areas that are significantly highly stressed which in turn gives confidence with similar designs fitted to less demanding applications. The study that Wilde performed for us gives us confidence to look for similar type of assistance in the future.

Helical Technology

I was very satisfied with the end result and manner of analysis Wilde carried out for us, their input was invaluable to the project design review, they played a major part in obtaining our goal.

Global Gas Company

Wilde Analysis achieved everything that we asked of them, within the required timescale. The results were presented exactly as requested and we’re very pleased with the outcome.

Ilmor Engineering

I in particular found the briefing informative and your report was excellent in terms of depth, analysis and presentation.
